Bradema is an intermediate level, mostly downhill trail. There are a few rocky sections, log-overs, two A-frame features, a long elevated bridge, and a few jumps. A short climb in the middle breaks up the descent. The most feature filled trail in Frick Park, it also makes for good hike or trail run.
